The build up for the Traces London Exhibition is almost as exciting as the Olympics!

Debbie Lowndes is excited to be taking part in the TRACES LONDON exhibition this August 17-19th. Part of the Shoreditch Fringe and in collaboration with Designersblock.
Debbie is even more thrilled that a LOW weather front is coming in, so she won’t have to upholster in such scorchio conditions! No panic going on at all….nooooo, everything is all going tickerty boo!
As well as the link above, you can find even more information at the TRACES LONDON website….or if you’re really modern and hip you can join them on Twitter…
